Wymyk

Alfred and Jerzy are brothers. Their father always advises them to cooperate but the brothers who run their business together are always in discord like Cain and Abel, each insisting on his own position. On a train ride, the brothers witness a young woman getting sexually harassed. Jerzy, the youngest, defends the girl and faces the robbers while Alfred stays behind, indifferent yet scared by the situation. But things get out of hand and Jerzy is thrown out of the moving train without Alfred being able to do anything about it. He is denounced by the family and friends for having just stood by and watched Jerzy’s accident. Alfred becomes consumed with guilt.
